What different lives we live. This first M1 was in November 2020. Not even four years old. I’ve never had a [personal] computer for _less_ time than that. (Work, yes, due to changing jobs or company-dictated changes/upgrades)
- AdamJacobMuller 2y agoMy work computer is my personal computer. I easily spend 100+ hours a week using it.
- CountHackulus 2y agoSame here, but I'm still using a mid 2012 Macbook Pro. It's got an SSD and 32GB of ram, but it still works great.
- AdamJacobMuller 2y agoI feel like just running teams on that would make it cry.
- danielbln 2y agoI also bet it sounds like a Harrier jet when doing most things, at the temperature of a hot plate.
- LeafItAlone 2y ago>at the temperature of a hot plate That’s a feature, not a bug, for some. When I upgraded to an M series chip MacBook, I had to turn up the heat because I no longer had my mini space heater.
- alluro2 2y agoExactly my thoughts. I don't understand whether I'm really spoiled, or is the crowd here weird about upgrading for some reason - if you have a laptop from 4-5 years ago, the new one would be 2-5x faster in vast majority of things - even if not critical for your workflow, it would feel SO MUCH nicer - so if it's something you use for 100h / week, shouldn't you try to make it as enjoyable as reasonably possible? Other example - I'm by no means rich, but I have a $300 mechanical keyboard - it doesn't make me type faster and it doesn't have additional functionality to a regular $30 Logitech one - but typing on it feels so nice and I spend so much of my life doing it, that to me it's completely justified and needed to have this one then.
